Definitions
- the present invention relates to an excavator control apparatus for construction equipment of the type having a shovel such as a hydraulically operated shovel.
- the boom, arm, and bucket which comprise the operation section, are successively rotatably connected to the equipment body, with the boom, arm and bucket each having connected thereto cylinders which expand and contract by lever operation.
- Digging with such equipment must be carried out by a very experienced operator because each of the cylinders must be operated separately. Since there are not enough experienced operators today, a shovel type construction equipment has been proposed in which each of the cylinders are automatically controlled to perform automatic digging.
- a large variation in digging depth may occur due to changes in the hardness of the ground to be dug or the presence of obstacles. This gives rise to the problem that digging with high precision cannot be achieved.
- WO-A-9102853 discloses an automatic excavation control system in which a number of different modes of operation are possible, for example: modes in which a particular part of the excavation equipment can be kept at a fixed orientation, modes in which excavation is limited to certain defined areas, a mode which monitors the forces on the driving cylinders and an automatic mode which in principle requires no human intervention once initiated.
- modes in which a particular part of the excavation equipment can be kept at a fixed orientation for example: modes in which excavation is limited to certain defined areas, a mode which monitors the forces on the driving cylinders and an automatic mode which in principle requires no human intervention once initiated.

- the digging control section can comprise depth limiting means for correcting the operation commands to each of the cylinders so that the digging depth during automatic digging does not become less than a set depth value.
- the digging control section can comprise operation command correcting means for correcting the operation command to each cylinder by lever operation during automatic digging.
- control automatic switching means for automatically switching the mode from digging load control mode to the bucket path control mode when the digging depth has equalled a set depth.
- control automatic switching means for automatically switching the mode from the bucket path control mode to the digging load control mode when a digging overload has occurred.
- first control automatic switching means for automatically switching the mode from the digging load control mode to the bucket path control mode when the digging depth has equalled a set depth
- second control automatic switching means for automatically switching the mode from the bucket path control mode to the digging load control mode when a digging overload has occurred.
- an excavator control apparatus for a shovel type construction equipment so constructed as having a boom, arm, and bucket, which comprise the operation section, successively rotatably connected to the equipment body, with the boom, arm and bucket each having connected thereto a cylinder or cylinders which expand and contract by lever operation
- an automatic digging control section of the apparatus which allows automatic digging by controlling the expansion and contraction of the cylinders, incorporates digging load control means for generating operation commands to each of the cylinders to maintain the digging load during automatic digging at a set load, operation command correcting means for correcting the operation commands generated to each of the cylinders by lever operation during automatic digging, depth limiting means for correcting the operation commands generated to each of the cylinders to prevent the digging depth during automatic digging from becoming less than a set depth, and bucket path control means for generating operation commands to each of the cylinders to match the bucket path during automatic digging at a set path, first control automatic switching means for automatically switching the mode from digging load control mode to bucket path control
- the present invention which is constructed as mentioned above, allows the operator to carry out digging operations very easily with high precision and efficiency.
- reference numeral 1 denotes a hydraulic shovel type construction equipment which is one example of a shovel type construction equipment.
- the hydraulic shovel 1 comprises a crawler moving section 2, a swinging section 3 which is swingably supported on the upper portion of the moving section 2, and an operation section 4 which is connected to the front end portion of the swinging section 3.
- Each of the aforementioned sections operates by hydraulic power of an engine (not shown) which is provided in the rear portion of the swinging section 3.
- Each of the sections are basically constructed as they are conventionally.
- the swinging section 3 is supported on the upper portion of the moving section 2 by means of swing bearings (not shown). It swings by a hydraulic motor 5 which engages with the inner teeth of the swing bearings.
- the swinging position of the swinging section 3 is detected by a swinging position detecting sensor 6 and fed back to a control section 7 which will be described later.
- the operation section 4 comprises a boom 8 which is connected to the front end portion of the swinging section 3 so as to be swingable in an upright plane, an arm 9 which is connected to the front end portion of the boom 8 such that it can swing to-and-fro, a bucket 10 which is connected to the front end portion of the arm 9 such that it can swing to-and-fro, boom cylinders 11 which vary the posture of the boom 8, an arm cylinder 12 which varies the posture of the arm 9, and a bucket cylinder 13 which varies the posture of the bucket 10.
- the aforementioned cylinders 11, 12, and 13 each have an operating position and speed detecting sensor 14, 15, and 16, respectively, which detect the operating position and speed to feed back the detected information to the control section 7.
- Reference numeral 17 denotes a control valve which allows operation switching of each of the cylinders 11, 12, and 13 and the aforementioned motor 5.
- Pilot-operated electromagnetic valves 18, 19, 20, and 21 are each connected, respectively, to the control valve for the hydraulic motor 5 and each of the cylinders 11, 12, and 13 each of which are provided therein. For this reason, the operating speed of the hydraulic motor 5 and each of the cylinders 11, 12, and 13 can be freely controlled by a method which utilizes PWM to control the current of each of the electromagnetic valves 18, 19, 20, and 21.
- Reference numerals 22L and 22R denote a pair of operation levers on the left and right hand side of the operator's seat.
- the operating levers 22L and 22R allow the hydraulic motor to cause each of the cylinders 11, 12, and 13 to move tiltably individually or together to the right or left, or backward or forward.
- the operation direction and the operation input of the cylinders are electrically detected and input to the control section 7.
- the control section 7 is formed by a microcomputer which includes a CPU, ROM, and RAM.
- the control section 7 causes signals to be input by such component parts as: the aforementioned swinging position detecting sensor 6, the operating position and speed detecting sensors 14, 15, and 16, and the operating levers 22L and 22R; a digging load detecting sensor 23 for detecting the digging load based on the pressure exerted by the arm cylinder 12; an automatic main switch 24 for switching automatic digging control mode ON and OFF; mode change-over switch 25 for switching automatic digging control modes (which include digging load control mode for executing only digging load control mode, bucket path control mode for executing only bucket path control mode, combined control mode for automatically switching the digging load control mode and the bucket path control mode); an automatic digging start (end) switch 26 for starting and ending the automatic digging control mode; a digging load setting element 27 for setting a standard load for the digging load control mode; a digging depth setting element 28 for setting a depth limit for digging load control mode and a standard depth for bucket path control mode; and an earth-moving position setting
- the control section 7 causes operation signals to be output to the aforementioned electromagnetic valves 18, 19, 20, 21, etc.
- control section 7 there has been previously stored control procedures for manual operation control, in which operation signals based on the operation of the operating levers 22L and 22R in the operation section causes the operation of a corresponding hydraulic actuator (of hydraulic motor 5 or each of the cylinders 11, 12, or 13 ) to be controlled.
- automatic digging control digging load control mode, bucket path control mode, and combined control mode
- automatic earth-moving control in which the bucket 10 is moved from the place where digging is completed to a set earth-moving position to automatically remove earth.
- the automatic digging control mode has been selected among the various modes and will be described in detail below since it is considered the essence of the present invention.
- the aforementioned automatic digging control mode is executed when the automatic digging start (end) switch 26 is switched (at the location where digging is started), while the automatic main switch 24 is turned on.
- the control mode is canceled, when the automatic digging control operation, itself, is completed, by re-operating the automatic digging start (end) switch 26, with the automatic main switch 24 switched off.
- the automatic digging control mode of the embodiment includes a digging load mode, a bucket path control mode, and a combined control mode. These modes can be alternatively executed by switching a mode change-over switch 25.
- a command is generated to expand the arm cylinder 12 and the bucket cylinder 13 for carrying out automatic digging.
- the load detected by the digging load detecting sensor 23 and the load set by the digging load setting element 27 are constantly compared with each other.
- the corrected set load value is compared with the detected load value.
- the upward and downward movement of the boom 8 can be controlled based on the compared results.
- the control section constantly judges whether or not the operating lever 22L or 22R has been operated during automatic digging.
- the command values electromagnettic valve current values
- the operation of the operating lever 22L or 22R allows the operation position and the operation speed of each of the cylinders 11, 12, and 13 to be freely corrected.
- the control section computes the current digging depth based on the detected values of the operation position and speed detecting sensors 14, 15, and 16. At the same time, it constantly compares the computed digging depth and the depth set by the digging depth setting element 28. When the current digging depth exceeds a set depth, a command is generated to the boom cylinder 11 to expand the cylinder. This reduces the digging depth to prevent the ground from being excavated beyond the set depth.
- operation command values are generated to each of the cvlinders 11, 12, and 13 to correct the displacement between the desired path (linear digging path for maintaining the set depth) and the actual bucket position (computed based on the detected position of each of the cylinders 11, 12, and 13).
- desired path linear digging path for maintaining the set depth
- actual bucket position computed based on the detected position of each of the cylinders 11, 12, and 13.
- the combined control mode will be described.
- rough digging is executed based on the aforementioned digging load control mode, and, during rough digging, the control section constantly judges whether or not the bucket 10 has reached the set height (1 meter above ground level in the embodiment) and whether or not the bucket 10 has equaled a depth set by the digging depth setting element 28.
- the combined control mode is temporarily stopped upon judgment that the boom 8 has automatically moved upward when the bucket 10 has become full.
- the rough digging is completed and finish digging is executed.
- the digging depth at that time is temporarily substituted as the set depth.
- the finish digging (bucket path control mode) is continued based on the substituted set depth.
- rough digging digging load control mode, but the boom 8 is not moved downward
- the flow chart shown in Fig. 5 illustrates the control procedure which is carried out each time automatic digging is performed. The procedure is repeatedly carried out assuming that earth removing operations such as automatic earth removal control and manual earth removal operation are to be performed.
- the bucket path control mode is also provided in addition to the digging load control mode, in which mode the bucket 10 is controlled linearly along the aimed path. Therefore, after rough digging has been performed due to the digging load control mode, finish digging can be executed due to the bucket path control mode. As a result, digging operations can be carried out very efficiently and with high precision.
- the combined control mode is also provided which allows the mode to be automatically switched from the aforementioned load control mode to the bucket path control mode when the digging depth has equaled a set depth, and the mode to automatically switch from the bucket path control mode to the digging load control mode when a digging overload has occurred. Therefore, digging can be carried out very precisely and very efficiently by repeating both control modes. In addition, digging operations can be carried out more easily because mode switching does not need to be carried out. Further, imprecise and inefficient digging operations which result from erroneous mode switching can be reliably prevented.
- the present invention since the present invention is constructed as described above, it allows automatic digging to be carried out with the digging load maintained at a set load, while at the same time it allows corrections of the operation commands of each of the cylinders by lever operation during automatic digging. Accordingly, variations in the digging depth which occur during automatic digging can be easily corrected by simply operating levers, without the operator having to go through the trouble of canceling the automatic digging control mode. As a result, automatic digging operations can be carried out very easily with very high precision.
- the depth limiting means which is provided to prevent the digging depth, during automatic digging, from becoming greater than a set depth, markedly increases the digging precision because over-digging is prevented, and also the digging efficiency because too much earth will not be excavated which would require the additional operation of returning the excavated earth back to the ground.
- control automatic switching means for automatically switching the mode from the digging load control mode to the bucket path control mode when the digging depth has equaled the set depth, or the control automatic switching means for automatically switching the mode from the bucket path control mode to the digging load control mode when a digging overload has occurred are provided, operations can be carried out very easily because control switching does not need to be carried out. Accordingly, since erroneous control switching is prevented, the problems of reduced digging precision and operation efficiency are overcome.
